I don't know about competitive but I'd build a '68 L88. Stick only. Real mans car!

Jeff, Thanks for the input but if I go with a big block it will be an automatic. I will leave the stick to you guys that can handle it! Sid

Sid,
Make a 70 out of it and put the LT-1 350cu. 370hp stick combo in it. That motor is rated at 340 hp.Should be a NICE combo. |

Terry is right on. Although big block wise in a 68-69 I would suggest a 390hp 427. the 3x2 motors are a challenge (both Terry and I can attest to that), the L88 will be very expensive to be competitive with, and catching the CJ's is pretty hard to do

I don't know of anyone running the LT-1 combo in the 70 Vette. Do you? I know Greg Hill is running it in the Camaro (maybe others). When I hit the powerball lottery I'm going to build one. See ya, |

No I don't. I know that the 69 LT-1 needs to be brought back into reason (thats not a 400hp combo, the LS1 is clearly a better motor than the old LT-1). Dad and I would consider it if we could get the hp right.
